On what basis did you come up with sample size of 100? I have read studies with samples less than that size, including control groups.
I am not aware of testing techniques involved in Indian traditional medicine and have no comments on their scientific-ness. Also, for the record, I don't think Ramdev/Patanjali have developed their cures for modern ailments in accordance with whatever traditional testing techniques used to be.
Justification is easy : An apple offers numerous benefits over allopathic medicines and if it is found to be a replacement of any medicine, it should be replaced.
Nutritive value alone settles that question as far allopathic drugs are concerned.
I haven't ruled any of them out.
They did all of that, and other things, because they didn't have any drug that worked, but they specifically wanted only a combination of drugs to work, so they just did whatever jugglery they could.
For the record, there is still no drug to cure covid.
As far as curing covid is concerned, ALL drugs are still useless. IN REAL LIFE.
They checked the drugs at random. Four years of hit and trial and there is still no method to the madness that happened.
The only clear reason that remdesivir got tested before apples is that big pharma, or anyone else systematically funding doctors, does not see any jump in bottomline when apples are black-marketed.
In a complex set of assumptions, reasons do not exist. They are invented to butter the side of bread that suits one.
I am all for profit, if made legitimately. But I have seen single dose of remdesivir (which wasn't curing anything) sell for over $1000... in India.
Unfortunately, most people mistake familiarity of ideas with their truth, and you are no different. This is why big lobbies get their way through propaganda, and people's will is generally meaningless.
I'm not sure why you have such obsession with apples, but clearly it's not the only unreasonable thing in your brain. After my first message I thought your answer would me something like "that's a stupid example for the sake of argument, nobody would really think that". In that, I was wrong, and a bit less hopeful for the sake of humanity.
I'll just invite you to make your research about how apples will cure COVID, or any other illness. You seem to bet highly on it, and you think medical research can be done in the side, easy peasy. You clearly have easy too much time.
Please don't forget to post the mandatory "haha! I won, my logic was unbeatable!". Won't be seeing that notification though.
I do not have an obsession with apples. I took it up as a specific example and remained consistent. Do you find consistency difficult to understand?
So you wanted me to behave in a predictable manner, but I didn't. That should actually increase your hope from humanity. Give it some thought.
I'd take up on your offer if you can provide an isolated sample of the virus culture. Deal?
Lol. You are definitely not a good loser.
